Sukta 117
आनृण्यम्। अपमित्यमप्रतीत्तं यदस्मि यमस्य येन बलिना चरामि । इदं तदग्ने अनृणो भवामि त्वं पाशान् विचृतं वेत्थ सर्वान्
ā́nṛṇyam | apamítyam ápratīttaṃ yád ásmi yamásya yéna balínā cárāmi | idáṃ tád agne anṛṇó bhavāmi tváṃ pā́śān vicṛ́taṃ véttha sárvān
Freedom from debt. The ill-lot, the unpaid due—whereby I stand within Yama’s sphere and, constrained by force, go my way: even that, O Agni, from this day I make mine own discharge; do thou—who knowest every noose, in all its spread—set me unbound.
ऋणमुक्ति। जो अपमित्य (दुर्भाग्य), जो अप्रतीत्त (अदा न हुआ देय) है—जिसके कारण मैं यम के क्षेत्र में स्थित हूँ और बलपूर्वक बँधकर चलता हूँ—उसी को, हे अग्नि, आज से मैं ऋणरहित कर लेता हूँ। तू—जो सब पाशों को, उनके समस्त विस्तार में, जानता है—मेरे सब बन्धन काटकर मुझे मुक्त कर।
